Is the woman rights movement a fraud that should be abolished?
Mike asked:
Women complain that they are discriminated ecoonomically and politically but they dont complain about the protection that the law provides them such as
1. Not being required like men to sign up for selective service
2. Being less likely than men to be sentenced to death or receive the same sentence for violent crimes.
3. Having an advantage over men in child custody and divorce.
4. Receiving more health care then men evne though men live shorter.
No. Freedom of assembly applies here.

I’ve never had any complaints.
Hmmm … maybe men live shorter lives BECAUSE women receive more/better healthcare? …….

Feminists support drafting women and equal outcome in the law. However, since we’re the ones bearing the babies, you can imagine that we have a good deal more health problems.

If you really believe in these issues, do something about it. Join a men’s group of some sort- I would really think it’s a good idea to do that. Supporting those issues yourself in some meaningful way is better than attacking feminists who you feel are against men in some way.
Is it more important for you to fight for these issues, or is it more important to you to use them to attack feminists?
I agree that feminists haven’t done enough about some of these issues, but I think that it’s up to us men to pull our weight here.

1. This is coming, probably as soon as they institute the next draft.
2. Judges have a great amount of discretion over sentencing. Sexism sucks, I agree. If you are white, do you object to your comparatively lighter sentence over a black person?
3.. 7/10 times that a male asks for custody, he receives it.
Also, a University of Michigan study of Income Dynamics disclosed that mothers with minor children undergo a 30% drop in their after-divorce standard of living while their ex-husband’s standard of living increased by an average of 15%. This takes into account support payments. Clearly, it is a MYTH that women have an advantage in child custody and divorce.
4. No one “receives” health care in the US, as far as I know. We pay for it. And in most individual insurance policies, prenatal care, birth control, childbirth, and abortion are all excluded, unless you pay extra for prenatal care and childbirth coverage. *My* policy only covered one pelvic exam every *two* years, in clear violation of the AMA’s recommendation. You “live shorter” in part because you take silly risks and are more likely to be subject to homicide – by other men.
Anything else?
DEROVIRUS, you are completely confused about why women live longer than men. Until the 1920’s *men* lived longer than women. We kept dying in and after childbirth until the invention of better hygeine and antibiotics. And again, men are at greater risk for “accidents” partly because they put themselves in harm’s way, and they are also far more likely to be victims of homicide, usually by other men. We also choose to go to the doctor more often. That’s partially why married men live an average of 10 years longer – their wives force them to actually seek medical treatment.

Feminism is the fraud, not women’s rights. It is no longer an issue of women’s rights, but everyone’s rights. Their mentality breaks down as follows:
– Institution/Service favours men = bad
– Institution/Service favours women = good
– Insitution/Service discriminates against women = bad
– Institution/Service discriminates against men = indifferent
It is a hypocritical infinite loop, they continue to back women’s related issues, and wholy ignore issues that would benefit or level the playing field for men. Equality you say? Hardly.
Rio: Where is the proof of this, everything I’ve read on this issue has pointed to the contrary; women hold custody on the children until the father can PROVE the mother is a bad provider.
Moreover, playing this birth card is becoming more and more bothersome, perhaps I should start arguing that because I’m a man, I can rape women because my hormones are telling me sex is priority #1. Women decide to get pregnant, men decide to rape, etc. Additionally, the fact that women live longer than men is proof enough that the health care system coddles the female population, to the neglect of the male population.

The women’s rights movement has been fighting for decades to include women and men in the law equally. That includes the draft, sentencing, and child custody. Do your research, lest you expose your ignorance.

Answer to comment number one. The reason women are not required to sign up for selective service is BECAUSE they are not considered equal in 26 states. As soon as women are considered equal in the 26, instead of just the 24 they are now, states then they will be required to sign up. Talk to your politicians about that.
Answer to comment number two. Women do not commit the same kind of violent crimes. When was the last time you heard a group of women do a drive by, gang rape a man, or go on a cross country sniper spree? We are more subtle. We do commit crimes, just not in an overly violent fashion.
Answer to number three. The kids like us better. Sorry, we just have a 9 month head start.
Answer to number four. What man goes to the doctor? Mine complains about his feet. But has he called? Nooo. Will I nag him about it? Nooo. Let him suffer, the retard. Most health care items (pacemakers, fake hips, medications) are made for men. They just started making smaller ones to fit in the female body.
Stop whining just because you don’t have the right to get laid whenever you feel like. That you have to wait for the woman to say YES.

Gentlemen, a piece of advice from one of your own, the quintessential abolitionist (Abe Lincoln)…. “It is better to remain quiet and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.”
